But Aces broke the binding law, high and low, a fatal flaw. The Darks then rose, their bond was sealed, the Reds were chained, their voices sealed. War consumed the deck of old, a tale of silence, dark and cold. Yet fate has drawn a hand anew, a chosen one to cut straight through. To face the Dark, endure the test, and bring the deck to balance, rest.<h2 class="bb_tag" >💬 Join the Development</h2>Follow the project for updates and the full release announcement.
